Is there no end to the Drug Plague?
Last year, our nation’s capital passed the murder-a-day mark, and the number of homicides is now up some 50 percent from that level. More than half of these killings are drug-related. In 1988 New York City had its most violent year ever, with 1896 homicides. Many of these involved drugs. Such homicides are also a problem iii Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Phoenix and scores of other cities where drug gangs war against one another and use violence to spread their deadly trade. In Bankhead Courts, and Atlanta housing project, drug-related crime has reached the point where mail carriers have had to depend on increased police patrols at delivery, time.
For years, we have attacked the supply side of the drug crisis, trying to choke off the flow of drugs into our country and stop the networks that distribute them. This strategy has failed miserably. Now it’s time to launch a whole new offensive. We must crack down on drug consumers.
Last year, former First Lady Nancy Reagan had an emotional meeting with the parents of young woman who had died in a train clash that involved an engineer’s use of drugs. After that meeting, Mrs. Reagan said, "If you’re a casual drug user, you’re an accomplice to murder."
Mary Jane Hatcher, widow of a New York City drug-enforcement agent killed in the drug wars, echoes that sentiment. "Even through the grief," she said after her husband’s death earlier this year, "I must ask, who really killed Everett Emerson from our society? Look around. We middle-class suburban Americans, we casual users, we dabblers in drugs keep the market in drugs an ever-increasing one. Therefore, Everett Emerson Hatcher was killed by all of us, Nice people. All of you who hear me now and fit this description, all of you must accept the blame for the loss of this good, gentle man."
Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
选项
A、Last year there was a murder almost every day in Washington D.C.
B、Now more homicides happened this year.
C、More than half of these crimes are related to drug.
D、In USA mail carriers always depend on increased police patrols at delivery time.
答案
D
解析
本题要求找出错误的选项,可以采取排除法,根据原文第二段前两句,可知A、B和C项均有提及。D项“在美国,邮递员要依靠增加的巡警来投递信件”,注意该句为一般现在时,为普遍现象,而原文只是说有时候如此。因此D为正确选项。
